DA Fani Willis rebuts accusations of misconduct during Georgia Trump probe

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is pushing back on allegations of misconduct after she was accused of financially benefitting from a relationship with one of the prosecutors on her Georgia election interference case.

In a new 176-page court filing, Willis claims she has "no financial conflict of interest that constitutes a legal bases for disqualification" from the case and that she has "no personal conflict of interest" that would justify her or the office's dismissal.

The filing includes a sworn affidavit from prosecutor Nathan Wade in which he says that in 2022 he and Willis "developed a personal relationship in addition to our professional association and friendship."

However, the filing says, "any personal relationship among members of the prosecution team does not amount to a disqualifying conflict of interest or otherwise harm a criminal defendant."
